All is Home

Winter has finally made her presence felt.

Our walks are shorter,
Kitten and I hurry indoors,
And look at her through our window.
The evening light too, runs home
to her fireplace.
But who will take home
this one sentinel I see
standing strong, braving the winds,
with no warm soup.
Yes I know, I told her, your tree is alive.
Now, go home, be warm.
She smiled, fluttered and said,
I am home, love,
I am home.
